This exciting graffiti mural project was completed for a private client in Pattaya, Thailand, and spans an impressive 45 metres wide by 7 metres high. The large mural was split across two walls, divided into three distinct sections, transforming an otherwise dull grey poolside wall into a vibrant tropical beach scene. The project took 10 days to complete, a longer timeframe than usual due to the challenging surface conditions and the need for extra preparation.
A Stunning Transformation
The goal of the project was to turn a grey fibro-cement wall into a stunning, lifelike beach scene. The mural concept featured a tropical beach that seemed to emerge from a cracked wall, creating a beautiful illusion of paradise. The first section of the mural, measuring approximately 15 metres wide by 7 metres high, was a challenging feat to paint due to the lack of access equipment like cherry pickers. Instead, I had to rely on ladders to reach high spots, making the job a bit more physically demanding, but the results were well worth the effort.
Poolside Mural with a 3D Effect
The most significant section of the mural was located poolside, right next to the client’s private pool. This panel had to include a horizon line and 3D effects, creating the illusion of a beach disappearing into the distance. The proximity of the pool added a unique dimension to the mural; the reflection of the artwork in the water made the scene feel even more immersive. When viewed from the pool, the art seemed to merge with the water, blurring the lines between the painted scene and the reality around it.
Painting in the Scorching Heat
The challenging heat of Pattaya’s daytime sun made it difficult to paint during the day, so I opted to work during the cooler nights to ensure the paint adhered properly. This night-time approach not only allowed for better working conditions but also helped avoid the heat affecting the painting process. Throughout the 10-day period, I had to take extra care with every stroke, ensuring the quality and precision of the mural were maintained in such a demanding environment.
Careful Consideration for the Surroundings
The location of the mural posed its own unique challenges. The mural was situated right next to the client’s bedroom, which was also poolside. This required a lot of care and attention to detail, ensuring that no paint or materials would damage the newly furnished house. The walls had to be cleaned and primed carefully, with special attention to the dips in the surface every 1.2 metres, as these uneven areas could affect the final result.
A Relaxing Moment at the Beach

It was a rewarding experience to bring this tropical paradise to life, not just for the client, but also for myself. It was a true pleasure to work on such a large, intricate project in such a beautiful setting.
